“This class literally changed my entire mind-frame and gifted me with such a beautiful way of softening into the death experience — that death can burn away everything but love.  It was such a new way of looking at death that as a physician who has spent her entire life trying to prevent death, it was life changing.  Thank you so much Olivia, from my heart. “ Laura Koniver

“Olivia’s Death Midwife Workshop is a profound way to get in touch with life, and to recognize death as one of our greatest allies and teachers.  Her ability to hold everyone in sacred space is glorious and it allowed me to dive into the mystery within that I’ve been longing for.”   – Grinnell Morris

“The webinar format was awesome. The nuts and bolts information on how to execute a home funeral was presented in a very clear manner. The photos, videos and demonstration were of the utmost value. I loved how you always brought the sacred into each step and infused it into the class structure…but it did not take over and lose the purpose of this class. I will always remember this experience. It inspired possibilities in my life.”   –  Kelly Hurley – Canada
